Arkay It had been three months since he’d left. Not only had he broken her heart, but he’d also taken half her money and any valuable belongings she had. Stephanie felt not just betrayed, but embarrassed. How had she not realised what a monster he was? Why had she not worked it out until now? Why … Read more
“Once upon a time, there was a beautiful forest where the King and Queen of the Pixies lived…” “A forest? On Earth? Since when were they pretty?” Frost glared at Ember as the four of them sat around the fire. Saryn had wanted to go to Iron Wake to drop off some Syndicate medallions rather … Read more
“Ah, Hunters! I am so glad that you have decided to assist me with my experiments!” The golden face of Simaris bounced around in front of Frost, really getting into his personal space. The Cephalon was always the sort to get too close, but today he was pushing it. “Yeah, yeah. We’re here to do … Read more
“Well that was not a friendly welcome!” The creature struggled, then stopped, realising that nothing would budge him. Black, inky chains tugged at his arms and legs, pulling them tight. More chains around his neck and stomach kept him from moving at all. “I was hoping for a hello or something!” It was obvious what … Read more
“What’s going on, Talok?” Nineteen Vahla gathered around their temporary new boss. As leader of the Vahla, Talok was next in line when it came to running Vohra Nest 3730. But this was an unnatural situation for all involved. Normally, whenever a queen died, a new one would be sent within twenty four hours, especially … Read more
“Hello? Assista? We need help! Our queen has-” “Please state Nest Arith and Data.” “Vohra Nest 3730, Mining Facil. We need help imm-” “Please hold while I put you through to the correct department.” “Uh…” “Assista 796 for Mining Facils speaking. Who is this?” “Vahla Leader Talok. We nee-” “What is your issue?” “Our queen … Read more
I always thought people were exaggerating when they said there’s always a weird, freakish regular customer. Surely it couldn’t be that bad. Maybe they were just awkward or something. People get shy, you know? Well, I was wrong. I’ve been running this little bar on the edge of the tourist area for six months now, … Read more
“Wow, Larunda’s busy today!” Volt exclaimed as he and Frost watched fellow Tenno go by. “I thought the Void Trader was at the Kronia relay?” “He is!” Frost tutted. “Everyone is coming here because they want to speak to Simaris and it’s slightly less busy here compared to Kronia.” “I know…” Volt shrugged. “I just … Read more
The bump on the roof was obviously Kairos. No one else ever bothered to land on the roof of Arkadin’s house. Everyone else used the front door like normal, sensible beings. Climbing out of bed, Arkadin grabbed one of his blankets and headed outside. Just as he suspected, the Dragon God of Time was standing … Read more
The Kiniseos Religion is the main religion for Temthans and other Temthaic species, but we welcome all beings, regardless of race, to worship with us. Our Religion is a religion based on love for both each other and oneself, worshipping creation, reproduction and happiness while striving against hatred, hunger, thirst and loneliness. The Religion and … Read more
Wednesday afternoons were always quiet, especially in the Ksithanai and Temthan sectors of Palaestra. As the temperatures begin to rise in April, the more reptilian races always enjoy taking afternoons off to sunbathe and warm themselves up. This little ice cream parlour on the very edge of the Ksithanai district was a very obvious exception. … Read more
Away from the main palaces of the Temthan Empress was a single, luxurious tower that only the most esteemed Raptesses and Raptorans had access to. It was sealed off to almost all other Temthans aside from the Empress herself. A tower of archives and ancient scrolls. A tower of preservation, filled with treasures and guarded … Read more
They could smell his fear, no matter how hard Ver tried to hide it. They wanted to meet the King of the Vrekans in person, so that was what Ver was doing. Of course he had brought some of his elite soldiers, the Myst, with him, but Ver was doing his best to keep things … Read more
Kohra sat quietly at the table, tapping his feet together. In front of him was a placemat, a knife and fork and a glass of water. At the other end of the table was an empty seat, its owner prancing around in the kitchen behind them. “Are you sure that you just want water to … Read more
Agapia’s eyes snapped open. Everything was still dark. She had nothing on, not even her Emperor’s Robes. There was a sticky feeling all over her body.
